The Outer Brood

Here we are again folks, another expansion in the books.

We've been hard at work the past couple of months getting all the info for The Outer Brood.

For all info on this expansion, check out The Outer Brood Wiki

Info collection is still ongoing so we're not quite done yet.

Here are the patch notes.

The Outer Brood

Welcome to EverQuest: The Outer Brood, the 31st expansion for EverQuest!

High in the sky over the hills of the long-ignored Hodstock Hills looms a massive behemoth. A creature so large that it appears to have an entire castle fortress on its back. Terrifying monsters fly down from that fortress. Huge reptiles with massive, deadly claws, fangs, and too many limbs. These beasts wield magic never seen on Norrath nor by any Norrathian. These creatures, dubbed the Outer Brood by the elders of the Circle of the Crystalwing, speak a form of Elder Dragon that even the oldest of dragons barely understand. Can you lead the charge against such danger, one that has caused even the fiercest elders of the dragon clans to hesitate?
